The word alumna, he said, but should have known better, means a nurse. He should know that the word is never used in that sense, but that nutrix is the proper term, to use in the sense which he implied. The following in relation to the word, alumnus, is taken from the latest edition of Andrew's Latin Lexicon. Alumnus: a. um. adj : That is nourised, brought up: Subst.—a.—a nursling, pupil or scholor, Ac. B.—Alumna, fem. a foster-daughter, a pupil. He then adds, 2., in late latin, act , nour ishing; or as a substantive, a nourisher,— oue who brings up, or educates. From this it will be seen that alumna does not, liter ally, mean, a nurse, but that the adjective does mean something which is nourished, hence the institution alluded to, hail a right to use the word alumna!, in the sense which Sat. it did.

There is perhaps no country in the world coemopoli a.il enough in the nature of its people to hare given such a. reception as that recorded to M. Offenbach, in Philadel phia, on Monday cvenin?. The author of the "Grand Duchess," Geneivive, &c., was indeed preceded at the Boston Jubilee, of a few years ago, by very great attractions, such as military bands representing the governments of England, France and Ger many, and the celebrated Strauss, the strains of whose waltzes have made the blood tingle in so many veins and Incited thousands to forget their dignity so far as to join in the dance, but never until this year did the American people east their grateful eyes upon the man from whose brain emanated the burlesque martial music of the Grand Duchess, and the almost affecting strains of the dites-lui. ter known to the world than any of the others, and especially to America, which has been favored with more French opera by French performers, than any other country, even England. It was a thorough satisfaction of the curiosity so long felt to see the composer at one time sitting in a retired nook of the garden smoking a cigar and sipping lemonade, in an out an out America fashion through a straw, and then in receipt of a most hearty reception, so he made his appearance on the conduc tors stand. In appearance, he is lanky and sallow, and even sickly looking, and wears clothes that by no means fit him, but leads with all the vigor and grace of a French man, though really not one by birtu. At the conclusion of his pieces, classical musicians differing so much In their style from his, did not hesitate to applaud loudly. in He is bet a THE BATABD CLUB, Its Reorganization Last Night, ' Last evening quite a large number of Democrats assembled at Seventh and Wal nut streets for the purpose of reorganizing the old BayaFd club.

The watch was found iu the cellar as the thieves dropped it in their hasty exit on the outside from whence it rolled, the robbery occurred sometime after one o'clock. The Now Directory. We have had placed upon our table the Directory of the city of Wilmington, for the uuexpircd portion of the present year and 1877. The directory is carefully com piled, Jand is a valuable guide. It was gotteu out by L the Commercial printing company, and exhibits a decided neatness in typogra phy. A Good Hotel. There are few hotels on the Peninsula which can excell the house kept by Amos R. Coie, at Milford. Mr. Cole is an oblig ing and attentive host, and understands how to run a popular house. The hotel is widely known to the traveling public and has always been popular anfi well patron ized.
